NOW: Bob Seger tour just announced

BOB SEGER:  2017 tour dates just announced, including Dallas

There was no way Bob Seger was getting the Silver Bullet Band together and mounting a whole new production for just two shows in his hometown of Detroit in September. Turns out they are just two dates on what is being billed as the Runaway Train Tour.

He'll get things going on August 24th in Toledo, Ohio and has dates booked through October 28th in Phoenix.

Seger has not said if this is his farewell tour or if the title of the tour, Runaway Train, is the name of the new album he's been working on.

Seger will play the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco on Saturday, October 21st.  Tickets for that show go on sale on Friday, June 23rd at 10am.  Get details at  BobSeger.com and LiveNation.com.

Nancy Wilson of Heart will open some of the shows.  (Live Nation)
